emma topping - a pause of thought lyrics

Loading...

i looked for that which is not, nor can be
and hope deferred made my heart sick in truth:
but years must pass before a hope of youth
is resigned utterly

i watched and waited with a steadfast will:
and though the object seemed to flee away
that i so longed for, ever day by day
i watched and waited still

sometimes i said: this thing shall be no more;
my expectation wearies and shall cease;
i will resign it now and be at peace:
yet never gave it o’er

sometimes i said: it is an empty name
i long for; to a name why should i give
the peace of all the days i have to live?—
yet gave it all the same

alas, thou foolish one! alike unfit
for healthy joy and salutary pain:
thou knowest the chase useless, and again
turnest to follow it
